{"files"=>["https://ndownloader.figshare.com/files/867021"], "description"=>"*<p>A “*” indicates a combined sample for an ethnic group. Among the 56 ethnic groups, 31 are represented by more than one sample and 25 by only one sample. English names of these ethnic groups were based on Chinese Encyclopedia - Ethnic Groups (Encyclopedia Publisher, Beijing, Shanghai, Jun. 1986), and these English names were arranged in alphabetical order. The sample sizes for Bouyei, Dong-1, Dong-2, Ewenki, Han-5, Miao-2, Miao-3, Oroqen and Yugur are those from fingerprints since sample sizes for each dermatoglyphic variable may not be the same in a population. There are 1509 fingers in 151 Yugur females with one of them having an injured middle finger of the right hand. The following data are published for the first time: II of GaoS.-1, II and H of GaoS.-2, III of Han-1, II and III of Han-2, IV and H of Salar, T/I of Tatar, and II and III of Tu. Data II of Han-13 was kindly provided by Dr. Hui Li. The frequency of II of Russ from females was originally reported incorrectly as 20%. A total of 34 samples were investigated by authors of this paper, and these samples are Achang-2, Bai-2, Blang-2, Dai-2, De'ang-2, Derung-2, GaoS.-1-2, Han-1-2-10-15, Hani-2-3, Hui-7, Jingpo-2, Jino-2, Kazak, Kirgiz, Lahu-4, Lhoba, Lisu-2, Monba, Mongol-2, Naxi-2, Nu-2, Russ, Salar, Tatar, T.B.-8, Tu, Uygur, Va-1, and Yi-5. Among the 56 ethnic groups, we studied 29 (51.79%). Among the 121 populations, we studied 34 (28.10%).</p>", "links"=>[], "tags"=>["references", "samples", "dermatoglyphic", "variables", "chinese"], "article_id"=>537456, "categories"=>["Genetics", "Medicine"], "users"=>["Hai-Guo Zhang", "Yao-Fong Chen", "Ming Ding", "Li Jin", "D.
